An email I just received

Trump is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in the United States will have the message This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. The TRUMP Rules will include:

Congressional Reform Act of 2017;

L1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/Congresswoman collects a salary while in office ONLY and receives no pay when they are out of office.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security
System immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system,
And Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used
For any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay
Will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the
Same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/Women are void effective 5/1/17 The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career The Founding Fathers
Envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then
Go home and go back to work.

There are many false statements in this email. Many false statements. Two I caught immediately were about Social Security, and Health Care. Congress already participates in Social Security, and already has the same health plans as everyone else. I didn't wast my time reading any further. I also doubt that Trump knows how to use email.

When arguing with a fool, make sure the other person isn't doing the same!

I'm a bit confused by this, is Trump asking this to be done or Diane Askovitz ?

It's not complete BS I suspect the Trump bit is, why would that money grubbing lowlife support this ? It's a petition by Diane Askovitz and apparently some one added the sad bit at the top and spammed it around, unless more evidence can be produced to support the original wording !

President Donald Trump has proposed the “Trump Rule” to fix Congress for good, and he has proposed the Congressional Reform Act of 2017 to accomplish that goal.

The Truth:

Forwarded emails about the “Trump Rule” borrows heavily from the long-running lore of Warren Buffet’s “Buffet Rule,” and the so-called Trump Rule to fix Congress doesn’t appear to be on the president’s agenda.

The legend of the Buffet Rule dates back to a 2011 CNBC interview in which the billionaire investor outlined a quick and simple plan to fix Congress for good.

but I would really like to see congress not borrow any more social security funds to fix their mishaps (that they never have repaid)

That's because they can't repay it! Congress really has no money, the only funds congress gets are the funds provided by guess who?... US citizens.
Congress and the Senate get fat pay checks, paid vacations, a very good retirement package with full health insurance benefits and they stole every bit of it from everybody else.
